Doggy Day Care in Ann Arbor

“This was an amazing place for my dog to stay! I was spoiled with pictures and videos so I could see how my baby was doing pretty much the whole time he was there! He was so happy to make new friends, and he got to play to his heart’s content! Erin and her husband are very attentive, and Tucker loved them straight away. It was really such a treat for both of us! Thank you!”

About: Hi there! We accept small to medium-sized dogs (20 pounds max or less) and typically care for no more than 4 dogs at a time. Under our careful supervision, your pup can interact and play freely, enjoying both the house and our spacious, clean, secure and fenced-in backyard. They are not confined to kennels or cages, and can sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether in the open or in their own crate. We have many nooks and crannies for the pups to relax in and many soft, clean blankets and pillows. They will have ample time outdoors for fresh air, exercise and fun (weather permitting), and the rest of course spent indoors, having fun, resting, playing games (we have many many puzzles and snuffle mats) and occasionally having a yummy, owner approved treat (we don't want upset tummies). They are regularly let out for potty breaks and fresh air every 1 to 2 hours, and never left unattended. WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW: We understand each dog has their own personality, likes, dislikes, and temperament. ****A meet-n-greet is required prior to the start of any service.**** -Unless arranged by special request during the week, they are usually on Saturdays and Sundays and by appointment. -Please allow enough time prior to your reservation to arrange for the meet-n-greet. LAST MINUTE REQUESTS: We will do our best to accommodate those in tight spots, but generally we only reserve this option for established clients only. VACCINATIONS: Please ensure your pup is up-to-date with vaccinations before boarding to protect them and our little ones from illnesses. PHOTOS: We know how important peace of mind is, so we send consistent, informative photos/updates/videos of your little one so that you know what they are up to and so that you can rest assured that they are doing well! LOCATION: We are located right outside of Ann Arbor - perfect spot near highways and shops! MEDICATION: Yes, we do provide, however, we do not provide service to pets that are sick/ill/recovering/ or need medical attention during their stay. We do provide service to pets that are in good health but require maintenance medications, with vets' approval. FIRST AID/CPR: As of November 2024, we are actively working on finding a reputable organization to refresh our human and pet first aid and CPR certification! ABOUT OUR LITTLE ONES: Archie and Roxy are our two adorable, little terriers who love to have fun - they would be co-hosting with me. My husband works from home, so there is generally always someone home. Either my husband, who works from home, or I will be on hand to supervise the dogs at all times. Ensuring your dogs' safety is my highest priority. A LITTLE ABOUT US: My husband and I are super responsible, incredibly loving dog parents. I was raised with dogs, and other animals, as was my husband (who grew up on a farm here in Michigan). Combined, we have closer to 20 plus years of experience in taking care of our own furbabies, those of our neighbors, and various other kinds of pets. We've been there, worried and stressed out over having to find someone trustworthy who will treat and love our little ones with the same level of care and concern that we do! Being super loving, very protective, and knowledgeable pet parents ourselves, we know full well how stressful it can be to rely on someone else. We are great communicators and continuously strive to educate ourselves and learn about the best new dog products, services, treats, etc. Please rest assured that we will do our best to answer your questions and concerns. It's always a joy to connect with fellow pet parents who are just as devoted and loving to their family members as we are to ours! My schedule tends to be flexible. My husband works from home as well- it’s a joy to have little ones running around! There is always someone at home with a watchful eye - your pup will never be left alone. The importance of temperament cannot be overstated; if there are particular household rules to increase the comfort of your furbaby, I will follow them to the letter. I would like to know if he/she has any medical issues, special needs, etc. A veterinarian's contact information and instructions would be required if medication is needed - this of course also applies if they have special dietary needs, allergies, etc.

“Kayden took our puppy for 9 hours with only an hours notice! We got frequent updates and several pictures of our puppy during her time at Daycare, which helped us know she was happy! Kayden knew just how to handle our anxious, 1st time visitor and make her feel at ease and keep her happy while we explored the town!”

“Simi has watched Mabel several times now. Simi is very thorough and shares many updates/photos throughout the day which is appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter option. It’s an added bonus that Simi also has a friendly dog (Shadow) that Mabel can play with during the day. Very happy that I found Simi as a pet sitter option.”

“Fran was professional, very accommodating to and flexible with my schedule/requests. She was very kind and attentive to quirks of my special needs dog. I could tell by my dogs mood when I picked him up that he felt relaxed, comforted, and loved during his day with Fran and her dog Maverick. I will definitely book with Fran again.”

About: I have owned/cared for many dogs for over a decade. I am a lifelong pet-lover! I’m very willing to be flexible and tailor my services to your dogs individual needs. I just recently graduated from my graduate program. My schedule will be very open/flexible for the next few months as I wait for my official license to begin my full-time job. I have a small, one-bedroom apartment that allows for close attention to your dog. If staying in your home, I will abide by your instructions for care!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and adopted a puppy from the humane society last year. I work from home and love the idea of having a play-mate for my dog to walk and care for during the day. Good with puppies, special diets, and active dogs. Happy home! I work from home and have a dog of my own, plenty of time to walk dogs, let them play in the back yard, and care for them during the day. My house is dog proofed and full of love. My fenced in yard makes it a great place for dogs to run and play. I also live in a great area for walking

Really good at potty cleaning and senior care I currently working as part time, so i have a plenty of time for pet sitting and give a lot of attention to the pets as they needed! When visiting client’s home, always look around what to use and expect and listen the client’s advise for the pets.

“I would absolutely trust Tanu to watch my pup again. She was relaxed, thoughtful, and timely.”

Tessa M.

“Danielle was awesome, we would hire again in a heartbeat! She and her pup immediately welcomed Maizey and made her feel right at home. They had a great day playing in the yard and taking a long nap and Danielle sent pictures of their day together :) Danielle was responsive, caring, and professional and we highly, highly recommend her!”

About: I am an officer in the Navy and have a dog of my own, so I am ready to shower your dog with attention. I love running with dogs, and have grown up training and taking care of two dogs of my own. I am ready to give your dog the care and love they deserve. My family hosted dogs through Rover when I was a child, so I am fully aware of what this job entails, and the time requirements! I work from home most days so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your dogs. I especially like to move around and get a little exercise in the mornings before work, at lunch, and in the afternoons. I try and keep the environment as similar to what the dog is used to as possible, so as to make them feel the most comfortable.

“Winkler was amazing, so accommodating of our changing schedule and gave great updates and pictures of our puppy! We will absolutely use him again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. I have had my own dog for four years and before that I have cared for my friend's and family members' dogs. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter to take the dogs for walks and play with them before I had a dog of my own. I have always loved animals, and I would love to get another dog, but I am hoping Rover will fill the void instead! I work from home and take my dog for a walk three times a day (early morning, lunch, and after dinner), and I would offer the same for your dog. The most time your dog would be alone is ~2 hours during the week and ~4 hours on weekends. I have a fenced-in yard with a dog door for our dogs to play. During the day, I work from home, so I am able to monitor their play. After work, I dedicate time to walk the dogs, play with them in the yard, and snuggle on the couch. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed.
